[QUOTE="Rusty650, post: 1075085, member: 30959"] I also had the same problem with the 6mm and 8mm Rapid Flexlink cannulas following the withdrawal of the steel cannulas last year. I suffer from Lipohypertrophy so teflon cannulas just plainly do not work for me unfortunately. I have tried to use the flexlinks for the last 4 months and my Habc1 has risen which is not acceptable for me anymore as it is my health and not Roche who will suffer in the long term. I contacted Roche once again today just to see if there is any update regarding the steel cannulas as to when or if they will ever be made available in the future and sadly no is still the answer. I do not see any alternative option but after four and half years on a pump I am going to give the pump back so hopefully some new person may get the benefit from having a pump who can use alternative teflon cannulas and hopefully they will be able to enjoy the benefits that i found so valuable of being on a pump. Thanks Roche..... [/QUOTE]
